No Family Doctor and Need a Medical Form in Edmonton
Edmonton faces the same healthcare access crisis as the rest of Alberta. Over 180,000 residents don't have a family doctor, and walk-in clinics across the city — from the Royal Alexandra area to South Edmonton Common — are overwhelmed.
When you work for the Government of Alberta, University of Alberta, Alberta Health Services, or any Edmonton employer, you need documentation when you're sick. MedLetter provides it same day, no family doctor required.
Edmonton's Unattached Patient Crisis
Edmonton's healthcare system is strained. The Misericordia, Grey Nuns, and Royal Alexandra hospitals all report overcrowded emergency departments partly because people without family doctors use the ER for non-emergency care.
Walk-in clinics in areas like Whyte Ave, Jasper Ave, and South Edmonton have 2-4 hour waits. If you're sick and need a note for work, that's an entire day gone.
